create script in bash that has tmos commands

How do I create a bash script that will run tmos commands and output the results to a file that can be sent to another server via sftp?

Hello,

 

Hello, when I generate an automatic backup it shows me this error when I execute the script:

 

Error, invalid characters in UCS file name. The dash, period, forward-slash, plus sign, and underscore are the only special characters allowed.

 

What is the problem?

 

Thank's

!/bin/bash

DATE=

date "+_%d_%m_%y"
echo getHostName=$HOSTNAME tmsh save sys ucs $HOSTNAME$DATE cd /var/local/ucs/ ftp -n 192.168.1.2 <

The test was run in version 12.1.2 build 0.0.249 and there were no problems. But the tests were performed in a cluster with version 12.0.0 bluid 0.0.606 and showed the error mentioned.

Simplify the script to only: "tmsh save sys ucs backup_test" and showed the same error.
